Statement & Releases

The seriousness of the happenings in Sabah particularly in Lahad Datu are matters which are of urgent concern and foreboding because if this can happen in Sabah today it can endanger its future.

All Malaysians and understandably particularly our Sabah brothers must be alarmed and concerned with the failure of securing our borders and safety of our sovereignty from foreign invasion. The seizure of Malaysian territory without any prior knowledge or measures to prevent this from happening must be of deep concern. The integrity and safety of Sabah is challenged as never before.

The global economy is suffering its most dangerous shock since the 1930′s. The global economic system has begun to suffocate as the financial crisis has frozen the flow of credit around the world. Emergency actions by the governments of the major economies appear only to be slowing down the breakdown of the global financial system. This is a financial emergency of the highest order. The global economy faces catastrophe.

As a former Minister of Finance, I urge the government to take this crisis most seriously. Trillions in savings and investments have been wiped out around the world. The nature and scale of what is unfolding is almost beyond comprehension.

Press Statement on the outcome of today’s Emergency Meeting of the Supreme Council

September 26, 2008

Now we know that Malaysia has First World infrastructure and Third World politics, with leaders turning us into a banana republic.

I think I speak for the country when I say we are embarrassed at the sight of two grown men playing this endless children’s game of “yours and mine” with the most important responsibility in the land, oblivious of the law, oblivious to the damage they are doing to the nation.
